Virtual Storage System and Methods of Copying Electronic Documents into the Virtual Storage System

1. A method implemented by computer system to effect the copying of electronic documents into a virtual storage system in data communication via a communication network, with an online document retrieval and storage system, the method comprising: receiving input data at the online document retrieval and storage system from a user at a computing device, via a communication network, requesting access to online account information; selecting and viewing an electronic document of the online account information to be copied; selecting a copy link within the electronic document, to copy the electronic document; viewing a plurality of electronic folders of the virtual storage system in a folder selection dialog; selecting via the user, a specific folder of the plurality of electronic folders for receiving and storing the electronic document selected; encrypting the electronic document via the virtual storage system at a first data center location of the virtual storage system; and copying the encrypted electronic document to the specific folder of the plurality of electronic folders at a second data center location of the virtual storage system.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: converting the electronic document from a first format to a second format prior to encrypting the electronic document.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the online document retrieval and storage system is a banking system and the electronic document is a bank statement.

4. A method implemented by computer system to effect the automatic copying of electronic documents into a virtual storage system in data communication via a communication network, with an online document retrieval and storage system, the method comprising: processing an electronic document associated with a user, at the online document retrieval and storage system; determining whether the user has access rights to the virtual storage system; encrypting the electronic document via the virtual storage system when it is determined that the user has access rights at a first data center location of the virtual storage system, and automatically copying the encrypted electronic document to the virtual storage system at a second data center location of the virtual storage system.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising: converting the electronic document from a first format to a second format prior to encrypting the electronic document.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein determining whether the user has access rights comprises: verifying user access rights at the online document retrieval and storage system via the virtual storage system over the communication network, when the user is indirectly accessing the virtual storage system via the online document retrieval and storage system; or performing a multi-factor authentication process when the user is directly accessing the virtual storage system.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions that, when executed, cause a computing device to perform a method of copying electronic documents into a virtual storage system in data communication via a communication network, with an online document retrieval and storage system, the method comprising: receiving input data at the online document retrieval and storage system from a user at a computing device, via a communication network, requesting access to online account information; selecting and viewing an electronic document of the online account information to be copied; selecting a copy link within the electronic document, to copy the electronic document; viewing a plurality of electronic folders of the virtual storage system in a folder selection dialog; selecting via the user, a specific folder of the plurality of electronic folders for receiving and storing the electronic document selected; encrypting the electronic document via the virtual storage system at a first data center location of the virtual storage system; and copying the encrypted electronic document to the specific folder of the plurality of electronic folders at a second data center location of the virtual storage system.

8. The computer readable medium of claim 7 , the method further comprising: converting the electronic document from a first format to a second format prior to encrypting the electronic document.

9. The computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the online document retrieval and storage system is a banking system and the electronic document is a bank statement.

10. The computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the communication network is a wireless network.
